TUCSON, Ariz. — White powder delivered in an swastika-covered envelope to the Tucson, Ariz., office of Rep. Raul Grijalva is a toxic substance, the Democratic congressman said the FBI told him Thursday afternoon.

It was not confirmed exactly what substance was mailed to Grijalva's offices, located at the 800 block of East 22nd Street, NBC affiliate KVOA reported.

Must be from the National Socialist (NAZI) party. And we know who the socialists are!

When one wants someone to open an envelop containing a toxic substance, one would want it to appear innocuous, not decorated with swastikas. This liberal dummy should hire smarter staff members.

“like the Post Office would really deliver a SWastika covered envelope”

That’s a very good observation. Really.

I’ll bet money that comes from a democrap in an attempt to make it look like a republican did it.

Love the swistika... nice, subtle touch.

I’m surprised they didn’t send it in a tea bag.

I hope his campaign workers remembered to wipe their fingerprints off of it and not put DNC headquarters as the return address.

My thoughts exactly. Grijalva receives a suspicious powder the very week his reelection race gets rated a tossup by pundits? How convenient.

Salt is the current fashionable toxic item.

Mailing toxic powder is a terrible thing to do no matter who did it, but I doubt anybody at MSNBC will consider the possibility that just maybe somebody sent that package to discredit conservatives. Such a development would tend to "energize" the base.

The swastikas strongly suggest that it was an arranged provocation.

Betcha Grijalva knew it was coming.

Why bother poisoning someone who could well be politically dead in a week or so?

Ummmmm....

I know that MSNBC is a ‘reputable’ news source, and all - but has anybody seen anything like a second-source confirmation that this actually happened??

I note that in the article excerpt, the only quotes were from the congresscritter’s office - nothing directly from Law Enforcement....

Suspicious.....

Absolutely no doubt that it was sent to himself,or had a staffer send it to him.
